<h2>Websites</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When I was in university I spent a lot of time building websites when I probably
|
|
should have been studying or doing assignments. Thanks to the amazing Internet
|
|
Archive some of these live on today.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some of the them were hand coded HTML, others were generated with Perl CGI
|
|
scripts, and later PHP. A couple of the less embarrassing ones are detailed
|
|
below:

A site that described itself as <i>a collection of PIC microcontroller related material</i>.
|
|
I'm still quite fond of the design today.

page that I transcribed into HTML was interesting enough that

Paul J Stoffregen of Teensy fame archived the page, which is still online

the time. For unknown reasons I still have my copy in its

wonderfully bulky boxed software form (pictured here).

In 2000 I installed my first UNIX system: NetBSD. At the time I wrote:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
The decision to make it into a server was made after
|
|
Andrew said I needed a sever for developing Perl and
|
|
C programs. I thought this was a good idea so I set
|
|
about getting some more hardware and deciding what
|
|
free UNIX OS I would install on it. After considering
|
|
FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD I decided that I would
|
|
install NetBSD. I probably would have chosen FreeBSD
|
|
except it's USB support was still very much under
|
|
development and I needed it in order to use my USB
|
|
modem. NetBSD had built in USB support so I decided
|
|
to go with it. Also Andrew and Ben had already setup
|
|
FreeBSD servers so I though I might try one of the
|
|
others.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I installed NetBSD on a cobbled together system with a
|
|
Cyrix 6x86MX-PR166 (133Mhz) CPU and 24 Mb of RAM.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I liked NetBSD enough that I designed an image and submitted it
|
|
to the NetBSD gallery. It's still
|
|

It seems it first showed up

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20010205060900/http://www.netbsd.org:80/gallery/logos.html">on the NetBSD site</a>
